Fri, Mar 12th: Young & Moore CD Release Party (Seattle)
by squeegee media 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

OUT NOW! SAD-CORE OF YOUNG AND MOORE March 9, 2004 (Seattle, Washington) Timothy Young & Paul Moore have released "Who Wants To Lead The Band?" a new collection on CD. The recordings on Who Wants To Lead The Band were not originally intended to be released to the public. Like all of their previous demos, these recordings were made for Mr. Moore and Mr. Young's own private research benefits. But the people want to hear these recordings. So, Mr. Moore and Mr. Young have agreed to release them. And this CD, my friends, is what certain musicians and fans know and love as "Sad-core". Recorded in a Seattle apartment with a $20 mic and an old cassette 4-track. Working fast on the theme "people", Mr. Moore and Mr. Young spent no more than an hour to write and record each song. Most tracks are live first takes (no edits or overdubs). Moore and Young's voices sound quirky, naked, vulnerable. People love these songs. This new CD is available in stores now. Also available at the "CD release party" at The Rainbow on Saturday March 12 (full details below). And for a limited time, free mp3 downloads from "Who Wants To Lead The Band?" are available via the following links -- (use the password "timandpaul" when prompted, and be patient if the download's slow, as each file is only about 2.5 mb in size!) "Manifest Shania" - http://snipurl.com/4qka ~ I Peaked in High School - http://snipurl.com/4qkb ~ "Oh Kings" - http://snipurl.com/4qkc YOUNG & MOORE CD RELEASE PARTY PERFORMANCE LINEUP: **** V **** feat.

Hello Zefira, Here in Michigan ( USA) there is a festival called edgeFest that usually occurs on the 1st weekend of October. It's main sponsor is the Kerrytown concert house. It lasts about three nights ( Thurs- Sat) and is chock full of avante music. I highly reccomend it. I have seen William Parker, Michael Moore, Trevor Watts Etc... They sometimes have groups that are on the Cuniform label. Regards, Stuart ( prices are very reasonable, a pass was available for $80.00 us dollars last fall) Zefira Kulikowski <zdak32(a)yahoo.com> Sent by: To: zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com zorn-list-bounces+boyerst=kellyservices.com(a)mailman.x cc: mission.com Subject: Music Festivals 03/09/2004 08:07 AM Hi, Can anyone recommend any good music festival in the USA in 2004?

Tzadik rhetoric / MST/ Zorn as conductor?
by julian.hughes＠examiner.co.uk 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

Just got hold of Masada String Trio (50th anniversary vol.1) and I'm delighted to say that, although the Tzadik rhetoric is no longer to be relied on, this release is everything that's claimed - and more! The fact that it opens with my two favourite Masada tunes obviously helps, but the playing throughout is inspired and yes, "breathtaking". (The packaging is great too - I much prefer digipacks to jewel cases, but each to his/her own!) Could anyone who was there on the night say what Zorn's input as conductor actually amounted to?

RE: two missing releases?

Hi Doron, >i was wondering if anyone on the list might have any information on those >two tzadik releases - the zorn documentary DVD and the feldman/Courvoisier >masada CD - which were discussed here before, but, as far as i know, were >never released? If you're speaking about the documentary, "A Bookshelf on Top of the Sky," I wrote to the filmmaker, Claudia Heuermann (who is extremely gracious, by the way), in December who told me that it would be available for purchase on the Tzadik website this spring. If I'm not mistaken, however, it was actually to be released about a year ago. I don't know why, but for some reason, there seems to be some delay. But Claudia knows that several are anxious for its arrival! I'm not sure the reason for the delay.

Dear Efren, I think you are absolutely right...! I have not read the book (yet)... just controversial comments about it. I agree with you Tim Bern is, among others, an astonishing great musician! what I just wanted to underline... and share the joy with you is simply that Italy, compared to France for example, is far behind in proposing advanced creative Music to a larger audience, exactly as it was years ago with Coltrane or other "Giants" I hope this is a first of many joyful Steps! btw the author of the book is not going to perform at the Festival...;--) and this could be an invitation to people who are involved in studying and writing with competence a more open "what's going on"... who... where... from? ciao Stefania >From: Efrén del Valle <efrendv(a)yahoo.es> >To: Stefania Errore <s_errore(a)hotmail.com>, zorn-list(a)lists.xmission.com >Subject: Re: New Yor is Now! ... in Rome 4-6 April 2004! >Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2004 10:02:23 +0100 (CET) > >Hi, > > --- Stefania Errore <s_errore(a)hotmail.com> escribió: > > well Efren, maybe you're right > > but... > > * it's just a title...;---)) > >The title should have read "William Parker's orbit is >Now!" :-) > > > > * reduction to the Parker-Shipp orbit... ??? if all > > the orbits were like > > these....;---))) > >Of course, they're good musicians.
